fMRI Basics
Most current analysis methods for fMRI data assume a priori knowledge of the time course of the hemodynamic response (HR) to experimental stimuli or events in brain areas of interest. In addition, they typically assume homogeneity of both the HR and the non-HR "noise" signals, both across brain regions and across similar experimental events. When HRs vary unpredictably, from area to area or from trial to trial, an alternative approach is needed. Here, we use infomax Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to detect and visualize variations in single-trial HRs in event-related fMRI data.

Research Interests

Analysis and interpretation of neural activity measured by EEG, MEG and fMRI associated with human cognition, awareness and perception.

Brain-computer interface and interaction

Development of mobile wireless EEG and BCI systems that feature dry EEG sensor arrays and integrated data and signal processing hardware and software to obtain non-invasive, high spatial and temporal resolution, recording and interpretation of brain activity in unconstrained, freely-moving human subjects within operational environments.

Research Interests

To identify and localize EEG dynamics associated with PTSD and TBI in the military population to better diagnose and treat these disorders
To optimize low-profile, at-home sleep EEG recordings and subsequent analyses to identify sleep abnormalities in behavioral health settings and therefore improve overall treatment outcomes
